Timeline
17:49
Start at Queens Wharf Brewery for a relaxed drink. The atmosphere is calm during the day, and you will have harbour views while you wait for the light to change.
18:49
Walk down to Nobbys Beach. This is the specific vantage point where the sun sets directly behind the Newcastle Art Gallery. Find a spot on the sand facing WSW.
19:19
Watch the sunset. The sun will disappear behind the gallery silhouette around 19:19 local time.
20:04
Head back up to Queens Wharf Brewery to end the evening. By now the crowd will be larger, but the energy is lively.
